fd+ R. ffitchdrd, Tn Chirago Ledger
 My DEAR NEPHEW Appearances are very often deceptive. Your ob- servation and experience have already taught you this. When you sec q man kneeling, though that is one of the at titudes of prayer, it does not follow that he k praying. This reminds me of d story heard when 1 was boy. It's being so old is my excuse for tell ing il here, for the chances are it will be new to you and besides it illus trates the point l want to make.
 Two Methodist circuit riders, one an old timer, and, as the story goes, a presiding elder, the other a young fel- low of great zeal in the cause, but not quite so sensibly practiced as his older colleague, fell in company one day and stopped at the same house to stay over night. They were both as- signed to one room. The old fellow, when il came time forretiring, quickly disrobed and jumped into bed. The young minister, however, first went oyer into corner of the room, where he knclt down and made a somewhat lengthy and audible prayer, intcrlard- ing the same with a great many grunts and groans, expressive of his thanklulness, misery. contrition and piety.
 When he got through he approached the bed where his good brother wa. contentedly snuggled, and with q sol emn air inquired
 "Brother H., don't you return thanks, before retiring, to God for Hi, goodness and His care and protection over you during the day?"
 The old fellow fiounced over in bed and quick as a flash came the question short and sharp:
 Do you?'
 "Why-why-yes," was the rather hcsitating reply. "What do you sup pose 1 was doing over there in tht corner a moment ago."
 Promptly came another question from the old elder it was;
 "What do you suppose was doing here in bed?"
 The young minister felt the fore, of the intended rcbuke and was silent He had been taught a lesson; it was There is nothing in appearances, I'm old minister had jumped into bed, nC doubt breathing prayer, as he dis robed, that in its earnest simplicit, had gone straightup to the ears of tn recording angel and was heard al over heaven before the young fellow petition had got beyond the ceiling.

Talking to Ones Self.
Arthur Merrick, in the Epoch.

If any person will carefully note the manner of speech used by those given to the habit of"talking to them- selves," he will come to the conclusion that the phrase is misleading. For proof of this assertion, let it be re- membered that the talking" always takes some form like the following "Now, let me show you -" "It ever l find you -" "Nothing of the sort he is -" "I just tell you -" "Why! Do you know -" and so on.
 Thus it will be seen that the lan- guage of the solitary talker takes the form of address to another person. In the greatest number of cases, the soli- tary talker speaks only when mentally excited, and tLen his language is a mixture of assertion, contradiction and vituperation. Now and again he is merely exclamatory, but whatever the words he uses may be, it is plain that he is always addressing himself to an imaginary person.
 Some rather amusing incidents are told of persons given to this habit. Two such approached each other one day, and each was conversing in loud tones with an imaginary individual. "Sir?" queried one speaker, as he paused for a reply from the person of his brain. "I beg your pardon" said the other at the same moment, to the imaginary individual with whom he was arguing.
 The cxclamations brought both men out of their visionary disputes, and with blush and mutual apologies, they continued their separate ways.
 Some solitary takers are known to be given to elf-condemnation, and this seems to contradict the assertion that there is no such thing as talk ing to ones self" The question was put to man who is given to con- demhing his own past conduct in emphatic speech when he gets alone
 Do you speak to yourselt?"
 Not exactly." he replied, slowly, Il am at these times Dr. Jekyu de- nouncing 1M'. Hyde, whom consider the evil person dominating me-"
 Surely, upon investigation, there seems to be no such thing as talking to ones self"

A Chicago Opinion OF Ed. HarrIgan.

Ina lengthy interview with E. Harrigan,
recently published In the Chicago MeUs,
the actor is held up before the public as
the original American dramatist, the only
man who can write a play ,rue to nature
and successfully act in it. He is compared
with Dickens, and is not belittled by the
comparison, for Harrigan studies human
nature and understands men even better
than the great English novelist did. He
was born of poor Irish parents In the very
heart Of the slums of New York, making
him just the man to make a study of our
complex social lite, and the use to which
he has put this study and observation, to-
gether with his industry, integrity and
open heartedness, has made him one of
the most popular men in the country to-
day. He is the author of ten very success
full plays, among which CordeIia's Aspir-
atoms is said to be the best.

A Business Change.

Gustave Schnitger and son, City Mar
shall W. R. Schnitger, have retired from
the Angora goat business, and will here
after engage exclusively in breeding fine
Kentucky grade horses at their Colorado
ranch. The flock of Angora goats has
been traded to F.. E. Warren for a bunch
of mares and a Kentucky stallion, the
latter one of the finest animals in the
West, being seventeen hands high and
built proportionately. The Angora goats
will, about the LIST of August, be placed
on one Of Mr.. Warren's ranches south
west of this city. Mr.. Schnitger, ST.,
was the first stockman to demonstrate
practically that Angora goats could be
bred probably in this region. and only
sells his flock on account of bad health.

sLUGGED BY A STRANGERS.
An ~Unoffending Old Man Nearly Beat TO
Death Last Evening.

About 9 o'clock last evening a man
rushing rapidly toward the city hall met
Policeman Nolan opposite the Summons
house and told the officer that a dead man
was lying in the vacant lot on the corner
of Seventeenth and O'Neil streets.
Nolan proceeded. at once to the locality
named and found the man lying on his
side in a large pool of blood and entirely
covered with the fluid. Upon examining
the PROSTATE individual it was discovered
that while not dead he had been badly in
iured about the head, apparently with
some blunt weapon.
Upon the liberal application of cold
water the man revived enough to say that
he had been shot or hit, he wasn't quite
sure which, and was unable to tell where
the disturbance occurred. He was recog-
nized as n Williams. a sheep herder,
who frequently visits town, and invariably
on such occasions gets about as drunk as
whisky can make him, and often remains
in that condition for several days.
Williams was placed in a hack and taken
to DR.. Hunts drug store, where his
wounds were dressed. Though not neces-
sarily fatal, his injuries are quite serious
and 1t will be some time before he is en-
tirely well. When Williams had recov-
cred sufficiently to converse lucidly he first
inquired where he was and then wanted to
know if any of the passengers were killed.
Upon being informed that he had not
been through a collision, the injured man
studied a while and then said that he re-
membered having arrived on the Cheyenne
q Northern and starting out in search of
the house of a friend, and upon inquiring
his way at a residence, someone-he could
not remember exactly who, had drawn a
six shooter IN him and then struck him
over the head with a ~bludgeon.
Officer Nolan returned to the neighbor.
hood where he had found the man lying
unconscious and endeavored to ascertain
the truth OF the affair, but was unable to
learn anything further than that a boy
who lived in the vicinity had seen a man
belaboring Williams with a club, Just why
he was unable to say. Altogether it is a
mysterious affair, and the person who so
numerically beat the unoffending old man
should suffer for it if he can possibly be
detected. Williams says ne could recog-
nize his assailant, and proposes to insti
tute a still hunt for him as soou as he is
able

FLOATING ON AIR.
A Mysterious Figure In White That
Prowls About
And Confronts PeaceabIe Citizens
at Unexpected Times.
Story of a Haunted House on the
South Side.

MIR. Frank Houseman, for years a resi-
dent of Cheyenne, but now living at Rock
Island, Ills has been in tie city fer sew
eral weeks visiting friends and relatives.
Frank is about the most mysti6ed person
one would meet in a vigorous search OF
many months. "Wednesday night as he
and little Oracle Hubbard we're passing a
large vacant house on East Fifteenth street
an unearthly apparition clothed in a long
white robe emerged from the dwelling and
foated in the direction of the passers-by.
To say the beholders of the mysterious
figure were frightened is putting it mildly.
They were Just about scared to death.
Now, Frank is no spring chicken, having
served for two years as night operator in
the telephone exchange. and during that
period experienced ~numberless exciting
adventures. As he had never seen a gen.
uine ghost before he proposed to embrace
the opportunity of investigating the one
at hand, and with that end in view in loud
tones invited the intruder to advance and
speak his little piece" if he, she or it had
anything to say. His surprise can be i'm
agined when the ''spook" hoated fully a
hundred feet in his direction ard only
halted at the fence which surrounds the
premises of the deserted place and then
suddenly vanished as silently and myster-
iously as it had appeared. Mr.. House
man proceeded homeward with his charge
and created a sensation by relating his
startling experience to the other members
of the family.
Last evening Frank and Warren Rich
ardson, Sr., visited the scene of the pre-
vious nights adventure, and although
they watched faithfully, observed nothing
about the place beyond a few sleeping
tramps.
The place mentioned has for the past
few years borne the reputation of being a
haunted house, and for that reason has
not been occupied recently. 1t is almost
directly opposite the Union Pacific section
house, below the repair shops. Its last
occupant frequently declared that myster-
ious noises were often heard about the
place, that dishes ratified and doors opened
and closed without any human agency.
MIR. Houseman Is not at all superstitious,
Is entirely trustworthy and honest, and
anything he says may be depended upon
as true. There is evidently something
unusual about the vacant house, whether
caused by supernatural agencies or not
can only be conjectured. At the present
writing the reporter has not heard that
anyone was ever killed in the structure,
although it is said that a stranger from
the east suffering with consumption ended
his existence in the house several years
ago by swallowing a too generous dose
of morphine, and certain persons claim
that it is his restless spirit which invades
the neighborhood. Be that as it NAV,
the mystery will soon be solved, for sew
eral ~resolute men who are acquainted
with the circumstances of Mr.. House
mans adventure propose to sift the mat
ter to the bottom.

The Cattle ..Comh ine.n

'Jud' Brush and tx Governor Routt,
of Colorado, are in town interviewing local
cattle barons concerning the combination
which the stockmen propose to organize
for the dual purpose of controlling the
market and dispensing with the services
of middle or commission men. Their
transactions are very mysterious, and not
one word can an outsider learn about the
great enterprise. A number of stockmen
about the city we're questioned by a re-
porter on the subject of the mammoth
scheme. Some said they would have
nothing to do with it, others thought it
might be a good thing if well managed,
wkile a third class seemed unable to grasp
the idea. One of the latter expressed
himself as follows: II wouldn't put my
herd in, because I've got a couple of
thousand graded cattle on my range that
are worth a great deal more than an
equal number of natives. Then again,
if this combination could control the mar
ket they would be just as liable to have
low prices as the commission men are, for
demand and supply control the cattle
market, and always will. The middle men
don't charge such exorbitant rates of
commission as many people suppose"
1t is said that Thos. Sturgis, A. T.
Babbitt and Gardner Bros, Wyoming
cattlemen, have signlfed their intention
of entering the pool, and that Carey Bros.
and other large owners may be induced to
join.
